0:11 hello everybody
0:14 my name is canadian aishi and i am an english
0:14 english
0:16 recruiter performer based here in
0:18 auckland new zealand
0:20 this is the third installment of my
0:22 online raku project which is proudly
0:25 sponsored by the creative new zealand
0:28 thank you creative new zealand now
0:32 i will be sharing the story called not
0:35 today which means the faceless
0:38 it is a ghost story uh which is based on
0:41 the japanese folktale and
0:43 also a ghost story written by lafkad yoher
0:44 yoher
0:48 or better known in japan as koizumi
0:51 yakima and i really wanted to share this
0:52 story in this project
0:56 because it's not funny
0:58 it can be there are some uh comic
0:59 reliefs et cetera but
1:01 it's quite different from other rakugo
1:04 stories so i really wanted to show
1:06 the world that's a bit ambitious term to
1:08 use but i wanted
1:10 the world to know that rakugo is not only
1:11 only
1:13 about comedy it's not only about
1:15 laughter but it's
1:18 all inclusive entertainment art
1:20 that's what i think it is so i hope
1:22 you'll enjoy this story
1:24 and please let me know what you think
1:26 about the story
1:29 or the project and if you haven't liked my
1:30 my
1:32 channel yet then please like it so that
1:35 i get motivated to keep posting stories
1:36 after this
1:39 project is done so thank you so much and
1:42 i hope you'll enjoy
1:45 no pitiful it's a ghost story so um
1:54 will be a little scary
1:57 in china they say there are yin and
2:00 yam in everything we japanese call them
2:03 in and yo now
2:06 yin means the negative aspects of something
2:06 something
2:10 while yan shows its positive aspects
2:12 they're basically the corresponding
2:13 contrast like
2:16 light and darkness or day and night
2:19 or good and evil
2:22 now the interesting thing is that they
2:23 say they cannot
2:26 exist without each other meaning for
2:27 life to exist
2:29 they're going to be darkness for data
2:31 exists they're going to be night
2:32 for batman to exist they're going to be
2:35 joker and for good to exist
2:38 they're gonna be evil
2:41 even our hands have yin and yam
2:44 so maybe you can try this but if you
2:45 have your palms
2:48 down like this these are yin
2:52 or negative hands but if you flick them
2:53 over and have your
2:57 your palms up there's a yarn or positive hands
2:59 hands
3:01 suppose you see a fight on the street
3:02 and if you want to stop
3:05 it then you have to use yin or
3:09 negative hands to nullify the energy
3:11 that's why people normally go stop that
3:13 stuff that come with that governor
3:16 no no don't fight don't fight so palms
3:19 are usually facing down
3:23 uh in japan we have this handy consonant
3:27 ma to stop a fight so we
3:29 this is how we stop fighting i'm not
3:44 now you know how to stop fighting japan
3:47 but on the other hand if you use your
3:48 young hands or positive
3:51 hands then you actually encourage the
3:52 fight by
3:55 fueling energy into it that's why some
3:57 people go
4:01 hey hey what are you looking at
4:03 and of course your hands can turn into fists
4:05 fists
4:08 now they also say it is important to
4:09 keep balance between yin
4:12 and yang ghosts
4:15 are negative beings in japan we
4:17 traditionally believe that they appear
4:19 under willow tree which is a young or
4:21 positive tree
4:22 and they also appear in the summer which
4:24 again is a positive season
4:28 so this is how the balance between yin
4:36 the story i'm going to tell you is about
4:40 this japanese ghost called no perabu
4:43 or the faceless with no eyes no nose or
4:46 mouth looking like an egg
4:48 it is based on a very famous japanese folktale
4:50 folktale
4:52 and also a ghost story written by lafkad yohan
4:53 yohan
4:57 or better known in japan as koizumi yakimo
5:04 once there lived a street peddler called
5:06 kichbe in iota tokyo
5:11 he made goods such as combs hairpins
5:13 cosmetics and accessories for summarized souls
5:15 souls
5:17 one of his clients was a lord in narcasaka

5:22 they are good
5:26 rivals one evening
